Brian William Huss, 38, of Greenville, passed away unexpectedly from a brain bleed on May 12, 2024. 

Brian was born on September 25th 1985 to William and Sharon Huss. 


In his younger years he was always using his creative spirits to invent a better way of doing things. He spent hours riding circles around his parents property on the go carts, dirt bikes and snowmobiles. He enjoyed playing baseball with and riding bikes with his many special neighborhood friends and his sister whom he shared a special bond (unlike many siblings, they adored each other).


He was confirmed in faith at Immanuel Lutheran church in Greenville. Brian attended Hortonville High School and graduated in 2004. He went to Fox Valley Technical College where he received a degree in criminal justice. He soon realized his passion was to use his creative side and become a metal fabricator. 


He was employed by Pierce Manufacturing and Lake Aire manufacturing for many years but his dream was to be self-employed. He started Iconic metal products and began making beautiful signs that can be seen at many local businesses and private homes. He spent hours designing and creating these works of art. His other interests were buying items on marketplace, fixing them and selling them to make some fun money. He loved riding his blue Harley. He loved rebuilding hotrods and old cars. Brian always had a project going. 


His favorite thing in life was spending time with his family and many wonderful ( many lifelong) friends. Campfires, grilling and a few adult beverages where he was usually able to make everyone smile and laugh. 


His sweet fur babies held a special place in his heart first with Maverick and then with Acey. Big dogs were his favorite. 


He is survived by his mom and dad (Bill and Sharon) 

sister Jenny (Adam) Bruss, nieces and nephew Brooklyn, Carly and Carson Bruss fur child Acey and many other family and friends.


Thanks to the Greenville first responders and the amazing/caring staff in the ICU at Thedacare Neenah. 

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made directly to the family.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Brian on Friday, May 17, 2024, at Immanuel Lutheran Church (W7265 School Rd. Greenville, WI 54942) from 4:00 pm until 6:00 pm followed by a brief devotional by Pastor Aaron Schulz.
